Roland Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 You know, I believe most sincerely, that Mid Week racing was just a ploy for the 'Haves' to extract more funds from the working /ground floor lads. Nothing more, nothing less, 2 - 3 'Money' making exercises during the week to bolster their' coffers and used the scenario of 'Better than Training birds'. Well if that is the case, was is it so b;umming dear. You can load your vechile up with a your 50 birds, and a few mates, and take them 50 miles for £15 divided by 4 - 5... hich means in a race 6 birds tops just sending ... so the other 44 stay at home! No, you do both! Send what you can afford, and hike a lift for trainers. And in reality just where and when and how often does the workingman's loft clean up? Rare, very rare indeed.

pencil cock Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 hi strapper, i'm not saying they ar at fault but if everyone's so unhappy why not all change or invite all other feds to come with them. it was actually advertised has and open meeting so in a way everyone and anyone was welcome to attend from which ever fed i also believe there another meeting in 5 weeks time once again open to everyone to come along and see whats on offer everything is being done in the open and is subject to memberships approval not individuals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffacre Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 If this venture by the welsh north road takes off,and i personally think that it WILL then a lot of fanciers are going to join (i wont say national because i dont agree with that).Weekend racing is what everyone wants,not being dictated too and told where and when we have to send to get some racing.will be interesting to see how many people join from federations outside the welsh north road.No Giessen? then Strasburg will be the alternative.

hepste Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 You guys may be interested to know that a new Welsh Championship Club has now been formed, for any fancier located east of 3-22-0. I understand it does not aim to be affiliated to a Fed., but be an autominous organisation affiliated to the RPRA. I think that it will really take off, as this is the way forward - a flexible self governing body deciding it's own destinies. The old club/Fed structures are now out of date, and a new racing structure is required to replace it. An advert will be in BHW this week I think. Watch that space.

Guest strapper Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 hi strapper, i'm not saying they ar at fault but if everyone's so unhappy why not all change or invite all other feds to come with them. i think the other feds were informed of the wnrf intent of leaving the combine...maybe some others should have made the step...i can see a few national fanciers changing to race this new route..hopefully not causing too much annoyance to the combine.

Guest neil Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I work 12 hour shifts 4 on 4 off and at present able to afford membership of both so i will join the new national(let the north in) and i will pick whatever races i can be there for and leave the ones i cant After the joining fee this year it will only be a tenner to have the choice,and the entry fee per race will probably be about the same,at least i will have a few more opertunities to do what we all want to do and that is watch our birds home. neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geraint Parry Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 North Wales Coast Fed voted to go south on the channel this year???? Some mebers for it some against?? 60 % 40% ????? So they looking to go into France on the Channel, maybe the ones who dont really want south would go with the new ''Nationals'' programme , South / South East?? Food for thought. But they would have to let the rest of Wales in first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
